| Rolls along the sun's bright car | A |
| Ah he wakens in his course | B |
| - | |
| Mine as thy deep seated smart | C |
| - | |
| In the heart | C |
| Ev'ry morning with new force | B |
| - | |
| Scarce avails night aught to me | D |
| E'en the visions that I see | D |
| Come but in a mournful guise | E |
| - | |
| And I feel this silent smart | C |
| - | |
| In my heart | C |
| With creative pow'r arise | E |
| - | |
| During many a beauteous year | F |
| I have seen ships 'neath me steer | F |
| As they seek the shelt'ring bay | G |
| - | |
| But alas each lasting smart | C |
| - | |
| In my heart | C |
| Floats not with the stream away | G |
| - | |
| I must wear a gala dress | H |
| Long stored up within my press | H |
| For to day to feasts is given | I |
| - | |
| None know with what bitter smart | C |
| - | |
| Is my heart | C |
| Fearfully and madly riven | I |
| - | |
| Secretly I weep each tear | J |
| Yet can cheerful e'en appear | F |
| With a face of healthy red | K |
| - | |
| For if deadly were this silent smart | C |
| - | |
| In my heart | C |
| Ah I then had long been dead | K |

| THE MOUNTAIN CASTLE | L |
| - | |
| THERE stands on yonder high mountain | I |
| - | |
| A castle built of yore | M |
| Where once lurked horse and horseman | I |
| - | |
| In rear of gate and of door | M |
| - | |
| Now door and gate are in ashes | N |
| - | |
| And all around is so still | O |
| And over the fallen ruins | P |
| - | |
| I clamber just as I will | O |
| - | |
| Below once lay a cellar | Q |
| - | |
| With costly wines well stor'd | R |
| No more the glad maid with her pitcher | Q |
| - | |
| Descends there to draw from the hoard | R |
| - | |
| No longer the goblet she places | N |
| - | |
| Before the guests at the feast | S |
| The flask at the meal so hallow'd | T |
| - | |
| No longer she fills for the priest | S |
| - | |
| No more for the eager squire | U |
| - | |
| The draught in the passage is pour'd | R |
| No more for the flying present | V |
| - | |
| Receives she the flying reward | R |
| - | |
| For all the roof and the rafters | W |
| - | |
| They all long since have been burn'd | X |
| And stairs and passage and chapel | L |
| - | |
| To rubbish and ruins are turn'd | X |
| - | |
| Yet when with lute and with flagon | I |
| - | |
| When day was smiling and bright | Y |
| I've watch'd my mistress climbing | Z |
| - | |
| To gain this perilous height | Y |
| - | |
| Then rapture joyous and radiant | V |
| - | |
| The silence so desolate brake | A2 |
| And all as in days long vanish'd | B2 |
| - | |
| Once more to enjoyment awoke | C2 |
| - | |
| As if for guests of high station | I |
| - | |
| The largest rooms were prepared | D2 |
| As if from those times so precious | E2 |
| - | |
| A couple thither had fared | D2 |
| - | |
| As if there stood in his chapel | L |
| - | |
| The priest in his sacred dress | H |
| And ask'd Would ye twain be united | F2 |
| - | |
| And we with a smile answer'd Yes | H |
| - | |
| And songs that breath'd a deep feeling | Z |
| - | |
| That touched the heart's innermost chord | R |
| The music fraught mouth of sweet echo | G2 |
| - | |
| Instead of the many outpour'd | R |
| - | |
| And when at eve all was hidden | I |
| - | |
| In silence unbroken and deep | H2 |
| The glowing sun then look'd upwards | I2 |
| - | |
| And gazed on the summit so steep | H2 |
| - | |
| And squire and maiden then glitter'd | R |
| - | |
| As bright and gay as a lord | R |
| She seized the time for her present | R |
| - | |
| And he to give her reward | R |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
